Amy,
So glad you have written the book. Don is a perfect one to coordinate with. Love all the history that goes into the book.
Have known Don since he was a teen!!

Amy;
I am an 89 year old Marine living at Southminster retirement community. Each year we have a cake cutting ceremony and dinner on 10 Novembe to celebrate the USMC Birthday. We would love to have you as our guest on that date in 2024. Would you consider joining us for this special occasion?
Best regards,
George Sawyer
